Wisconsin (15-0, 2-0 Big Ten) matched the best start in school history, tying the 1911-12 and 1913-14 teams.

The game was physical at times, and Iowa coach Fran McCaffery was hit with two technical fouls almost 8 minutes into the second half after a foul was called on Gabriel Olaseni, sending Nigel Hayes to the line.

McCaffery, who came to Iowa from Siena, was ejected, but continued to confront the officials and had to be restrained by his assistant coaches.

Brust hit all four free throws on the technicals for Wisconsin (15-0, 2-0 Big Ten), and Hayes made one of two on the personal foul.

That turned a 41-39 Iowa lead into 44-41 Wisconsin advantage. Hayes then scored on a drive to cap off a 12-2 run. Iowa would not lead the rest of the game.

San Diego St. 61, Kansas 57: Xavier Thames scored 16 points and No. 21 San Diego State held on to beat No. 16 Kansas, ending the Jayhawks' 68-game nonconference winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse. San Diego State is 12-1. Kansas fell to 9-4.
